Well the time finally came for us to have a baby. We decided that I needed to be induced since Macy was such a large baby so we set up a time on February 10. Our family was so excited the girls and I made a chain of when the baby was due and we tore off the extra days after we had set up the induction. The only worry I had was the freeway was closed because of flooding and the other routes to Burley from Shelley had a possibility of closing so I was worried my parents would have trouble getting here.  My family had started the guessing the gender and size text a couple days before and only a couple of hours after everyone had guessed I got a phone call from the hospital and they told me they could not deliver on the 10th so they would have to push me back to the 11th. I was so bummed. I did my best not to think on it and surprisingly only cried a tear or two. The morning of the 10th was the hardest though I was already sad because I was supposed to be in the hospital, instead Doug was at work and I was bathing the girls. My parents were going to come that day (the freeway had opened up hooray) so that gave me something to look forward to but they called and said they were going to be later then they had hoped so I was then really depressed. About 20 minutes later I got a call from the hospital and they said they could take me at noon. I called Doug and then my parents and told them they had to get here so they worked things out and everyone was here just in time. During the waiting time I was rushing to get everyone packed and last minute things prepared so I was stressed and I was really nervous so I had to keep calming myself down. When we got to the hospital there wasn't much time to think they got me all hooked up and started the pit. The epidural didn't work perfectly so I was in a lot of pain but things went really fast. We finally got to meet our little girl Brynli Lou Hurst.
The girls got to come to the hospital later that night and meet her. They just kept looking at her and thought she was pretty great. Macy didn't hold her too long before she said heavy and past her off.


They went home with my parents until Monday so we got to spend some time relaxing and enjoying the baby. Doug got pretty bored without the girls keeping him busy but I enjoyed the time even though I missed them a ton. They had a ton of fun with Grandma and the cousins though.

I am so happy to have our family back together again and being able to enjoy this baby and helping the girls with her. They sure love her and we are all so happy she is here.
